Do I think there is someone at Twitch just holding my channel back from being recommended and growing?

No

However, it's very frustrating looking at everything and just seeing data that makes no sense to me. Subscriptions have remained stable. Other platforms see growth. Twitch just dried up.

Even my Ad Rev is halved with similar CCVs and exact same amount of ads being played (and similar uptime) between 2023 and 2024. Granted, Ad Rev varies a lot year by year, but this is pretty excessive variance.

I'd also use my bot to compare the viewership I have reported by Twitch compared to active connected chatters. For a while, it was looking like a 30% Viewer to Chatter Ratio, even when ignoring bots like CommanderRoot, this is a pretty extreme ratio that made little sense.

These are 2 Breakdowns for my impressions from Before the Streak Ending and After the Streak Ending. Both with a similar amount of days presented.

My impressions are up significantly in present day (37k vs 50k), but it hasn't translated to any growth. I've mostly shrunk or remained stagnant.

Also worth noting with the graph above, that I apparently gained nearly 2000 followers according to Twitch in 2024. That just doesn't add up at all. I'm at a net gain of around 40 that entire year.

Every time I hit 13,980ish Followers, I get knocked down to 13,960 for about a year now.

The image is from July 23' to Today. In July '23, I ended a 2300 Day Streaming Streak. That's when things stalled out

Note: I had 1 small follow bot attack. Bots were removed fairly quick as you can see

It's going to be a few graphs and observations I've made the last 18+ months. I'm not looking for some conspiracy with big Twitch holding me down. It's just a point of confusion with me, just trying to get things on track.

It's also a good look at how I try and make sense of analytics

One of the most frustrating things to me on Twitch right now is how I feel like my channel has hit some wall of stagnation.

Let me explain and sorry if this seems unhinged.
